💀 𝓕airchild 💀<p>While I sort out the paint situation for the shell ring, I've been working on the black box itself. Still not done but this crap took forever, separating strands from an Ultra ATA cable. Each side plugs into a 40 pin socket. The wires need to be routed to look like the original prop and then terminated on the other sides. <br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Sneakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sneakers</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SetecAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SetecAstronomy</span></a></p>

Jeff Man<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://federate.social/@mattblaze" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mattblaze</span></a></span> You know that I would find this a fun read. It also underscores what I am discovering about the difficulty of translating cryptographic terms into the modern, digital age. <br>Ex. (and I'm not meaning to pick on you): to describe a Casar Cipher you state "This scheme isn't very secure. In fact, in cryptographic terms, it's not really even encryption, because there's no secret variable that prevents unauthorized people from decoding the messages. It's just an encoding."</p><p>It is, in fact, a form of encryption, specifically a substitution cipher (as in the name) and not encoding at all.<br>Encryption - a generic, catch-all, inclusive term for cryptographic systems, namely enciphering or encoding.<br>Cipher - a form of cryptographic encryption that generally treats the message on a character by character basis. There are two forms - substitution (trading letters and/or symbols for the underlying plaintext) and transposition (simply jumbling the order of the plaintext message in some reversible fashion)<br>Code - codes offer some form of substitution, but what makes it different is that it involves words or phrases and typically reduces them to a word or symbol. </p><p>Note: Neither of these types of cryptographic systems involve a "secret variable" (or, simply "key"). The earliest definition of "key" that I have found refers to the settings and positions of the moving parts of a cryptographic machine (like the wheels of an Enigma machine). Somewhere along the line (still researching) the term became more synonymous to the random bits that get applied to plaintext in order to render it "secret". </p><p>I'm not sure any of this matters other than to preserve the history of cryptography but I'd like to think that terms and meanings matter. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SETECASTRONOMY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SETECASTRONOMY</span></a></p>
Dustin [BusySignal-KE2EFX]<p>I can see why the Hackers vs. Sneakers movie debate is so strong.</p><p>I can also see why they both have such a significant passion around each of them.</p><p>Let me hash it out - tell me if you agree.</p><p>Hackers.</p><p>This brings those that were on that side of the scene back to nostalgia. The times of phone phreaking and dialers, undocumented phone numbers, accessing local known BBS and unknown wardialed places. Hanging out with friends, raves and parties, the outcasts in their own clique of "don't care" who thinks things.</p><p>Was it elaborate over stated visuals fore dialing up into computers? Far Fetched a bit in the hacking with ease of doing things like credit card canceling and people who were very much alive but now deceased.</p><p>Yes - of course it was. However from that time were people that closed their eyes and would hope that traveling through the telco wires and connecting to the computers would look like that if they could extend themselves into the systems they were connecting to.</p><p>Sneakers.</p><p>This is for the grown-ups, that were already on the other side of the Phone Phreaks, the ones learning how to defend and break up the dial ins, the calls and the mischief. The ones who were already in the system wishing they could "go home again" and be the same. The Sneakers team has a mission, ethics, discussions on right and wrong. Attacking and defending and working for the way that benefits humanity and safety.</p><p>The Sneakers are now, what once were the Hackers. They are past the mischief, the causing trouble, and using that knowledge to defend and do what is right for the world order of security and ethics because they were once the Hackers.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Movies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HackerMovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HackerMovies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HackingIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HackingIsNotACrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/StoryTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StoryTime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NetworkSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetworkSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cyber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cyber</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberCrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> #2600 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OffTheHook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OffTheHook</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CerealKiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CerealKiller</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Whistler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Whistler</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Sneakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sneakers</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Hackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hackers</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SetecAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SetecAstronomy</span></a></p>
